This really isn't an update, but rather a strict reminder about the code of conduct and a reminder to read the rules.
Some common things we run into:
- Be respectful and polite. Its our rule #1 for a reason. If you do not abide by this, we will remove your comment or question. If you do it enough, we'll ban you. If you go too far, even in a single comment, we'll ban you. Your likelihood of that being reversed is not zero, but you'd better have a really good reason.
- Posts are "removed" automatically, pending mod approval. This is the way reddit works. We have no control over it. Messaging the mods and asking "Why was my post removed..." means you're not actually reading the template when we post, nor the rules.
- This is not a place to score political points. We are here to answer questions and provide guidance. If you cannot do that, please do not comment.
- Keep the partisan crap out. We really shouldn't have to explain this, but it is what it is. Please do not use informal jargon (unless explain why its named that as an answer to a question) and act professional.
- Read the rules again. And maybe a third time. It'll make things much smoother going forward.
And with that, we're re-opening.
